The presentation we watched today was the worst presentation I've ever saw. The presenter evidently showed that he was not adequately prepared or haven't practiced at all prior the presentation that's why his overall behavior, body language movements and facial expressions presented a person that was extremely nervous, stressed and incapable to transfer his knowledge to the audience. Furthermore I've traced grammatical mistakes on the power point presentation, he gave limited or no explanation of the marking points in order to emphasize the importance of the theme presentation and generally was unable to transmit messages or the main idea of the presentation. It was annoying even to notice that during the presentation he either put his hands in his pockets or wear sunglasses showing disrespect to his audience. Generally the presenter fail to perform his job properly.

The speaker did many wrongs in his presantation. He is unprepared and seemed very nervuse, uncomfortable. He also did very long paused and did not speak very clear. The backround of persentatio did not help the reader understand what writing. Sometimes the positive of presentation was did questions and take the attentions of audiens. If i doing that presenation i prepare better .

Presentation Evaluation

The presenter was unprepared without any of knowledge for his presentation, for example one time he said that the first man who stept on the moon it was in 1968 and after a while he said 1969. moreover he didn't make any practice and as a result he didn't know to spell the names. Also he was so nervous that he didn't make it to finished. he had spelling mistakes and his posture show that he couldn't make it. his slide shows didn't continuity!

Presentation Evaluation

The speaker was too nervous and he was not prepared well. We can see this from his movements and from the way he speaks. He didn't really know what to say and he was looking at the slide show all the time. There were some spelling mistakes on the slides and he used many useless details. The conclusion wasn't appropriate , because he stopped the presentation because something went wrong with the computer and he didn't know what else to say by his own.

Presentation Evaluation

The presenter did not actually know about the theme or the main idea of his presentation. He didn' t prepare enough so he didn't know even the names or the dates. He was feeling uncofortable and nervous and he was doing unnesessary gentures. The top was when he weared his sunglasses. Furthermore, his presentation had spelling and optical mistakes. Also some slides has got many informations at all. Finally, he did not restimulated interest with a smooth ending and focus.

Delivering Oral Presentations - Presentation evaluation

The presentation was so bad. During the presentation he was nervous and he did stressful gestures. Initially the introduction was missing. The slide show wasn't in points and it was so boring. Apart from them the, behind the slides were there pictures so the public can not be read in a satisfactory way. Also the pictures were irrelevant. The speaker was unprepared, because he was read the slides.
